A 25-year-old must answer before the district court in Erding because he is said to have threatened to throw shisha embers at young women.
The process has been interrupted.
Erding
– A rather clumsy come-on and an increased potential for aggression brought an Iraqi living in Erding to court – just three days after his 25th birthday.
But whether he will really be sentenced for threats and insults depends on the second day of the hearing next Tuesday.
Prosecutor Oksana Walger accused the Kurd of threatening and insulting two young women almost exactly a year ago in the shisha bar where a stabbing took place last week.
With his Spezl, the scaffolder coveted space next to the two young women.
But they preferred to keep to themselves.
A war of words ensued, in the course of which, according to the indictment, the Iraqis threatened the two Germans to throw hot coals from the hookah at them.
Then there was a heated dispute with the staff, whom he insulted in a way that cannot be quoted here.
The defendant, with public defender Dr.
Martin Paringer had appeared, declared: "I am innocent.
That was all my friend.” However, he did not appear as a witness.
For the two young women.
They said the defendant was the one who threatened to throw embers while holding the shisha.
However, both admitted to intensive questioning by Paringer that the two men could not be distinguished from one another.
In addition, the accused looks different today than at the time of the crime, when he wore long curls.
No pictures of those involved were shown to them during the police interrogation.
So a residual doubt remained.
This could also not be cleared up because three witnesses were missing, one of them without an excuse.
Judge Wassermann gave him a summons and a fine of 300 euros.
Nevertheless, the chairman saw an opportunity to bring the trial to an end without further witnesses, especially since he had problems making a verdict because of threats with this evidence.
"However, there is no question that the accused uttered insults," said Wassermann.
He suggested a "heavier fine" and justified it with the fact that the Iraqi had a relevant criminal record and was on open probation.
While defense attorney Paringer could have sympathized with that solution, prosecutor Walger shook her head.
"It is clear to me that the accused was the one who wanted to throw the embers.
Both witnesses testified that.” Added to this were the insults.
She wanted to hear the other witnesses.
That will happen next Tuesday.
Until then, it remains to be seen whether young Erdinger will have to go to prison.
